001We teach our students the next generation of leaders. Cabinet and David. Tonight, it gives me great pleasure to recognize the nearly $40,000 worth of donations the TUSD Family Resource Center has received from Trello Amazon MCE1 this school year. You can see some of the items there from strollers to housewares, pizza ovens to ice recovery baths. Those are a big hit. uh vacuum cleaners to garage storage, it has truly felt like Christmas picking up and then delivering these items to our schools and community. I would like to thank general manager Craig Norris and his assistant Patricia Vega for their support of TUSD, which started with the reading extravaganza and has continued with these ongoing donations. In addition to their donations, Amazon employees also regularly volunteer at our Fresh Food for Kids drive-thru distributions. If you've seen
002that picture in the far right bottom corner, that's Patty um Craig's uh administrative assistant. Troll Amazon MCE1 was also recognized this year by Spy for their outstanding partnership with TUSD. And that's in the far left hand bottom corner, Craig receiving his certificate. We are truly grateful for this partnership. A special shout out to our TUSD staff who have helped us pick these items up and bring them back to the F FRC. Theo, TJ, Eric, Pasqual, Ruben, I probably forgot someone. Um, it is recommended that the board of trustees accept a donation from the Troll Amazon MCE1 valued at $39,967.58 for the family resource center. Thank you very much. Can I have a motion to approve this donation as presented? Excellent. It's been properly moved and seconded. This is a roll call vote. All in favor
003say I. Any opposed? I also vote I. Thank you, Marie. What a generous picture. Next, we have the superintendent report. All right. Good. Oh, hey. That's better now, doesn't it? Pull that away a little bit. All right. Uh so our office of English learners assessment special programs in collaboration with human resources has focused efforts on preparing for ELLP starting in August uh with before and after school programs. As previously shared, we want to staff these programs at a level that provides supports to all of our families. Joe SA is working with the HR team on an ELO hiring event scheduled for June 25th with reference checks taking place before the event and fingerprinting scheduled to be on site. I am proud of the work these departments have been doing to help reach our goal of
004providing before and after school programs for all families who need it. Counselors are supporting secondary summer school and have been a tremendous help. Below is a list of how they are or a list of how they're supporting secondary students follows meeting with students and families regarding enrollment and summer school courses. Analyzing individual student transcripts to ensure we can offer the right class. Running and analyzing course request numbers prior to enrollment and as students no show to ensure students off the wait list can be enrolled. calling individual families and students off the wait list to ensure students will attend and reviewing transcript to crosscheck course requests. Gilogan shared the uh remarkable progress our district has achieved with PBIS and restorative practices over the past 3 years. Our dedication to fostering a positive school climate has yielded
005significant results, including a 44% reduction in total suspensions from 2324 to 2425 and a 71% reduction since 2223 in alignment with California Ed Code 48900. Total improvements include a substantial increase in restorative conferences from 303 to 1004 and parent notifications alongside a 68% reduction in detention from 7,54 to 2279. There's also seen a significant rise in counseling referrals and students receiving the the services. This data affirms our success in cultivating a supportive restorative environment and we look forward to further enhancing our strategies in the year to come. I want to highlight recognize the efforts that went into the ribbon cutting ceremony of transportation. This new facility is truly something to be proud of in TUSD and I want to thank the transportation staff for their work in making event happen and to those who are
006able to participate or attend. It was satisfying to see the vision of this expanded transportation yard that has been 10 plus years in the making. That concludes my report. Thank you very much. Are there any staff reports tonight? Any written reports? There are none. Okay. There's several announcements. We have Junth coming up this Thursday, Friday, July 4th for Independence Day. And then our next regularly scheduled meeting, Tuesday, August 5th. Friday and Monday, August 8th and 11th, teacher work days. Monday, August 11th, all staff kickoff. And then Tuesday, August 12th, the first day of school. Okay. Uh and then next we have the consent calendar. Any questions or comments? from the board from the public. I just would note um we're paying all the summer school teachers on the certificated addendum and I I know that's
007a win-win that teachers like to get the you know summer income but it's also such a service to our students and so I'm grateful for all the teachers who are uh and staff there right there. Thank you. All right. Okay. Uh can I have a motion to approve the consent calendar as presented? I'll second properly moved and seconded. This is a roll call vote. Miss Jackson I. Miss Amy. I. Miss. Martinez. I. Miss Ramirez. Hi. Mr. Shields. I. And I also vote I. Next we'll move on to the educational services portion of the agenda and Miss Benton Court is first of three information item for local indicators. This one really isn't mine, but Alice is not here tonight. So I am presenting in her place. So uh good evening board members um David and executive
008cabinet. Since Alice is not here this evening, I will pre presenting both Turlock Unified and EAMY's local indicators. As a reminder, California's accountability system is based on a multiple measure system that includes state and local indicators. Those LCFF priorities for which no state level data is collected are referred to as local indicators. The performance of these measures are reported through the California dashboard. Educational services did report on our state indicator in February at the annual achievement accountability board workshop. However, they are being presented tonight in depth as part of the LCAP requirements. Okay. All right. So, um as you can see, there's three columns here that um describe the LCFF priority, a description of the priority indicator, and the local measures that the district and academy consider and use to report performance. The five priority
009measures that are measured by local indicators are priority one basic services and conditions, priority two implementation of state stand uh state academic standards, priority three parent and family engagement, priority six school climate and priority seven access to a broad course of study. Teacher assignments is one of the local measures uh to monitor basic services and conditions. This chart displays TUSDs and total teaching assignment numbers in the following areas for the 2425 school year. Full-time equivalents or FTEES, which is the percentage of time spent working in job classification. Clear, which indicates that all relevant attributes or dimensions of the assignment were authorized by a clear or preliminary credential or authorized by a local assignment option pursuant to the California code of regulations. Out of field, which indicates that one or more relevant attributes of the assignment
010were authorized by a spe a specific permit as you see listed there. intern, which is someone who has a bachelor's degree and has demonstrated subject matter competency and who holds an intern credential while they complete coursework to obtain a preliminary credential. And ineffective, which by definition indicates that one or more relevant attributes of the assignment had no legal authorization from a permit, credential, or waiver, or the assignment was authorized by a limit limited permit. Other components of basic services and conditions are access to curriculum aligned with instructional materials and safe, clean, and functional facilities. Both TUSD and academy have zero students without access to curriculum aligned instructional materials and zero instances where the facilities did not meet the good repair standard. Both TUSD and E Academy used the C uh California Department of Education uh
011reflection tool to rate progress on implementation of state academic standards. The rating scale is one to five with one being the lowest and five the highest. A rating of one is the exploration and research phase. Rating of two is beginning development. Rating of three is initial implementation. Rating of four is full implementation and rating of five is full implementation and sustainability. The ed services team rated the following for both TUSD and academy. Professional learning and academic standards 4.4 instructional materials 4.6 policies and programs 3.6 other adopted academic standards 3.4 and support for teachers and administrators 4.6. Six. Both TUSD and Academy also use the California Department of Education reflection tool to rate progress on parent and family engagement, which focuses on three categories: building relationships, building partnerships, and seeking input. As you can see, although
012slightly different in each category, both TUSD and Academy averaged 4.75 across the board. The district's annual California healthy kids survey summary was also presented at a board meeting in March. A few highlights from the board presentation are that 3,47 students took the survey in grades 5, 7, 9, and 11. There was a 50% response rate from elementary students which required active permission, meaning we had to seek their permission to take the the survey. And there was a 93% response rate for secondary students, which is passive permission, which means that they have to actually opt out. Um, all students in TUSD and at Academy have accessed and enrolled in the adopted courses of study and have access to other broad courses of study. Um, this is just a sampling of lists uh the list here um
013including such courses as music electives um courses that were brought about through our Prop 28 funding and a variety of CTE courses. Both TUSD and academy measured and reported the data which leads to a met standard according to the California Department of Education. So next we are going to report the results through our dashboard through June and July of 2025 and we'll continue to monitor and evaluate indicators through the 2526 school year. May I answer any questions? When it says ineffective, is that's just for I mean that's not a good Yeah, ineffective doesn't have anything to do with the actual quality of the teaching. Or was a really big or Yes. So, if I'm sorry, it's not going back to that slide, but um maybe someday I'll learn how to work a remote. Um if
014we go back to this, it's just that they're on um a limited permit. I wanted people to understand me that correct. So, yes, it it's not that um has nothing to do with the quality of teaching. Any other questions or comments from the board, for the public? Thank you very much. And next we are on to the finance and accountability portion of the agenda and an action item for the adoption of the LCAPS. Um yes, Gabe is also not here this evening. Um all of these people are off traveling and I'm quite jealous if you want to know the truth. Um but uh I am here tonight first of all for our um local control accountability plans and at the last board meeting both Gabe and I presented themies and TUSD's local control accountability plan
015in depth. I will tell you there have been no uh changes from the last presentation um and no additional feedback received from um the county office of education. I had already received feedback prior to the presentation from the last time. So, um, with no changes from before, it's recommended that the board of trustees adopt the 2526 local control accountability plans for TUSD and E Academy as they were presented at the last meeting. Thank you very much. Are there any questions from the board on this item or comments? Any questions or comments from the public? Seeing none, I'll accept I'll entertain a motion to approve this item as presented. Make a motion to accept the adopted budget. Oh, you mean the LCFS? LCFS. Thank you. The L caps. The L caps, not LC. Yeah, you can
016save the adopted budget for the next. I'll second the motion. Thank you. This is a roll call vote. Miss Jackson, I miss Amy. Hi, Miss Martinez. Hi, M. Ramirez. Hi, Mr. Shields. Hi. And I also vote I. Thank you, Marjorie. And next is the adoption of the district's 2526 budget. Thank you. Also, at the last meeting, um I did present the tenative budget for 2526. Um similar to our LCAPS, there has been no additional feedback received from um the county or the public regarding such and so there were no changes from the last presentation. I did just want to um provide a couple of slides as our reminder. So um again, this is a summary of our general fund budget. um which shows that um we have revenues of about 243.9 million, expenditures of about
017262.4 million, and our unassigned balance of about 28.5 million or a 10.87% reserve. And then additionally, again, no changes from the prior meeting. Um, this is just a reminder of what our multi-year projection summary um was to show what we are reflecting or what we're projecting that um our ending balances are for 26 27 and um which still have us above a 5% reserve which is what is required by the board. So with that reminder again um no changes from the prior presentation. It is recommended that the board adopt the 2526 budget as presented. Thank you Court. Are there any questions or comments from the board or the public? Seeing none, I'll accept a motion to approve this item as present presented. I'll move to accept the budget as presented. Thank you. This is a
018roll call vote. Miss Jackson. Hi. Miss Amy. Hi. Miss Martinez. Hi. Miss Ramirez. Hi, Mr. Shields. I I also vote I thank you, Mr. Next, we have the human resources portion of the agenda and an information action item. Mr. SA, welcome. Good evening. All right. Good evening, members of the board. Superintendent Ladig, uh, cabinet members, uh, item 44 is an action item, information item related to the proposed revisions to our ELOP activity leader job description. The revision would adjust the requirements for staff. Uh currently the requirements in the job description require us to meet the federal every student succeeds act standards of holding 48 college units and associates degree or passing a district approved assessment. Um this requirement is actually pertinent only to those that are funded under title one funds. Uh this requirement does
019not apply to those funded under title 4 part B funds associated with ELOP or ACES. Therefore, the revised uh the proposed revised job description would line with align with the guidance uh presented under the California Department of Education and reflects an agreement between the district and CSEA. The adjustment is intended to expand internal opportunities of current classified staff and part-time roles seeking additional hours and to reduce barriers uh in recruiting candidates to fill our ELOP activity leader positions. It is recommended that the board of trustees approve the changes to the ELOP activity leader job description as presented. I'd be happy to answer any questions for the board before um voting on this item. Thank you. Are there any questions or comments? I just had a comment. I I really appreciate this uh this change. I
020know um when I was uh before I even started college, I did a lot of the after school program with the city um and ASIS and play. And it's a great opportunity for um at that time I was in high school and then outside of high school. It was a great opportunity to make some a little bit of money, pay for gas and things like that, but also to get some work experience. Uh, and especially for a lot of uh friends and and peers that wanted to go into teaching. It was a great opportunity for them to get experience with students uh to get around the school system and to kind of uh see what that might look like for themselves. Uh, and I know it opened a lot of doors. Uh, my brother was
021was part of the city's program and he is now a special education teacher at LA Unified. Um, and that really kind of kicked off his desire to be in teaching. And so, uh, it's it's very influential in in opening this door a little bit more and and hopefully it'll help us also fill those spots. Um, but also to open up to our internal applicants that might need to pick up some extra hours and notes. Economy is the economy and every hour kind of helps out. So, I appreciate that. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay, there we go. So is this like so someone might be a pair for four hours but they can come in and do lost that they would have met the so the correct yeah this would expand to anyone that would
022have the requirement would default to having a high school diploma the default for anybody working in the in the activity leader ELOP position. So the requirement that we currently have mirrors that of a par educator but the job duties the job description the uh funding isn't associated with what is required during the school day. um this meets the requirements. It's what a lot of our uh neighboring communities utilize as well. So, when it was originally put into the job description, it was to to mirror that. Um I I think it was actually Marjorie just brought up the question, is that really the requirement? And so, then we did a little bit of investigating and it wasn't the the requirement when I dug back. There was a shift in about 2022 um to when ELOP was
023becoming more um formalized and so they had made it specified in there that it wasn't required for the job. Okay. And I mean, I understand why we're doing that. I think it's good that we can offer more employment, but I also want to make sure that, you know, if we're going to be offering these programs, I know I was always honored as a parent question if my children were doing their homework after school and doing that. Um, I just want to make sure that we are providing the best after school care and a lot of the times hopefully that these kids by providing this we're going to be able to bring them up into student achievement eventually. And so that's why I'm like the best educators there all the time. But I understand that right
024now we just need to get this program up and running. And I would also echo what Patrick, my wife actually uh works for the city. That was her first job when we were first dating. It it was a great opportunity for her. She teaches for us now. Uh teacher of the year nomination this year. So it was her start into this field and she wasn't she wanted to be a psychology major at that time actually. So it was opportunity for her to see other other pathways and then she went into the teaching path. And so, uh, to echo what what, uh, Patrick had said, it is it is a, it is an opportunity for those that are seeking, um, not just hours, not just entry level, but also seeking to work with children, um, before
025they have this. Correct. Yeah. So, I think it's a good opportunity in that sense. And, um, but it's twofold and it also helps us with the current recruitment and allows those that don't have those requirements that are current employees, campus supervisors, what might be a big um, group that might want additional hours. We have TK Paris, those are three and a half hour positions. they have the ability to to supplement by either before or after school. So, it gives a lot of opportunities for own our own staff and that's why um CCA when we we we spoke in um negotiating this, they were in very much in support of this. Correct. Thank you. I would like to add as well that part of the reason why we wanted this program was because we wanted to
026control over the academic component and literacy component. So, our we do plan on having a systematic way of providing that PE so that our activities can be component. Martinez first. I'm having a hard time, but we're off to a good start. So, my comment is good. I think you answered the question. So, this was is also for the correct. Yeah. And the hiring event will that we're doing on the 25th at um Uh, superintendent lang reference will be filling both positions. I'm really glad we were able to get it in on this agenda so that we have it, you know, approved going into the summer recess. Yeah. Okay. And any other questions or comments from the board, the public, can you come can you come to the podium for all the people who are watching
027online? Can you come to the podium, please, Miss? I'm sorry. We can't people can't hear the public. Question. Good question. I was just wondering if these if if there's a current employee classified employee that's like works 3.75 and they get a 4hour e-lock position. Does those elop hours fall under the thousand hour? Correct. Yeah. These aren't temporaries. So the answer is yes. These would not be temporary assignments. Um they'd be a second assignment. A lot of we do have staff members that currently do that. they supplement with two positions in the district. So because it's not designated as a temporary assignment, if it's not a temporary assignment, then yes, they both would count towards their hours for ethnology leave and anything that would be associated with district. So then we have to calculate like if
028they're going to reach that limit, you know what I mean? before they take the job because like maybe in March they might need to limit um No, you're talking about if they're so like so like if a person worked I don't know four hours a day and then they took another a position for I don't know five hours a day before they start the job will you calculate if they're going to reach that limit because maybe they're going to reach the limit in March or April and You're talking about for retirees that meet the retirement. [Music] No. Uh to work extra hours to work the extra hours. Oh no. Yes. The extra hours. So this would be two different assignments. So yes position. It's a permanent position. Correct. Yes. It would not could Yeah. It
029actually add to their hours. Okay. So that way um so all the all statuto benefits everything would be calculated based off both of those. These might be different ranges. So if they were a campus supervisor at a range 10 and this at a range nine, different different computations that that margin department would do, but they both count towards that. It's not a temporary assignment that you would have to um like or a short-term assignment that you're calculating those hours. Good question. Add that at all. It's not additional hours and it would count if they reach a four hours to contribute to purse. Yes, correct. Any other questions or comments from the public? Okay, seeing none, I'll accept a motion to approve this item as presented. I'll move to accept the item as presented. Second. Been
030properly moved and seconded. Uh all in favor say I. I. And I also vote I. Thank you very much, Mr. SA. And now we'll move on to item 45 as amended. This is an action item of Mr. Le. All right.

[Applause] Now we'll move on to the business services portion of the agenda and item 48 and action item for the approval of resolution number 37/202425 naming of the Julian Elementary Baseball Field. Thank you Miss Carlson, members of the board, Dave and fellow cabinet members. Um this is the final step in the process to rename
034the Julian Ballfield after Mr. Paul Cooper. Um, as you'll recall, the last meeting we had a public uh information item and a public hearing. Uh, so tonight I am bringing this resolution to make this final. I'd like to read that resolution if I could. Uh, whereas Mr. Paul Cooper Cooper's coaching career spanned over 50 years with the Turlock American Little League. Whereas Mr. Cooper coached regular season as well as all-stars with Turlock American Little League during that time. Whereas Mr. Cooper served in various positions within the Turlock American Little League organization. Whereas Mr. Cooper taught his players the game of baseball and mentored them with values that instilled honestly honesty, ethics, and teamwork. Whereas Mr. Cooper received the youth involvement award from the Turlock Chamber of Commerce in 2001. Whereas Mr. Cooper received the Santa
035Society of Safe Safer Students Athletics Awards in 2003. Whereas a group of community members addressed the Turlock Unified School Board of Trustees on October 1st of 2024 and submitted a formal request to rename the field at Julian Elementary the Paul Cooper Field. Um and whereas the board authorized administration to form a naming committee to evaluate the request, solicit feedback from the community and make a recommendation to the board in accordance with board policy 7310 on November 19th of 2024. Whereas the board approved the members of the naming committee on January 21st of 2025. Whereas the committee met on May 7th, May 21st and May 28th to solicit feedback from the community. Whereas the naming committee recognized that Mr. Cooper passed away towards the end of this uh naming committee's work. And whereas the naming committee
036recommended the board of trustees to rename the field Paul Cooper field on June 3rd and the board held a public hearing where the comments were overwhelmingly in favor of the request. Uh now therefore be it resolved that the board of trustees of the Turlock Unified School District claim it that through Paul Cooper's outstanding service, success, contributions, accomplishments, and leadership to the youth in our community. It is deserving to name the baseball field at Julene Elementary School the Paul Cooper Field as long as Turlock American Little League has exclusive rights to use the ball field at Julene Elementary School. May I answer any questions? Thank you, Mr. Bordon. Are there any questions or comments on this item from the board? Any questions or comments from the public? Can I take just a really quick moment? Yeah.
037And because we have to wait for these guests to make their way in before we before we take the vote. So, yes, please make a comment. So, uh we are moving pretty quickly this evening. So, I apologize for that. But I'm glad that folks are coming in right now because uh we are working on the resolution for Mr. right now. It's been a really speedy board meeting. Unusually so. So, we we just read the resolution or this item. Perfect timing. Perfect timing. Yeah. So, with that, uh, we recommend that, uh, the board adopts this resolution. Okay. And there were no questions or comments from the board. I will say, you know, I've been on the board for 10 years, and it was really one of the most moving moments of a board meeting to hear
038the public testimony on behalf of Paul Cooper in support of this naming of the ball field. So, that was beautiful to behold in our community and it made me sad that I didn't know him, you know, because he sounded like just such an amazing person. So, wonderful that we could move forward with this. So, I just asked if there were any questions or comments from the public. Seeing none, I'll accept a motion to approve this resolution as presented. I'll motion to approve. Second. We have a motion and several seconds. And this is a roll call vote. Miss Jackson. Hi. Miss Amy. Hi. Miss Martinez. Hi. Miss Ramirez. Hi. Mr. Shields. I. And I also vote I. Wonderful. Congratulations. [Applause] Before we before you go on, can I say one thing? Yeah, please come up to
039the mic. Oh, okay. If I can get through the sister that cries. Okay. Is it on? It is. Okay. I just wanted to say I invited somebody that started this. His name is Ron Allen. He's in the back. He actually took my brother as a 17-year-old and made him scorekeeper. then got him invited and got him into the taking care of kids that led him to want to help the community through Kuanas, through baseball, through the pumpkin, through the um Christmas parade. He gave a lot of time. So, I want Ron to stand up cuz I want us to thank him. Not only was he my scorekeeper, he taught me more about baseball that year than I learned 25 years ago. He also taught two of my boys, he taught my grandchildren. He went all
040the way up. The guy was amazing and perfect. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you for letting me say that. Thank you very much. [Applause] Okay, we'll move on to item 49, an action item for the appointment of measure N, bond oversight committee members, Mr. Gordon. Very good. Thank you, President, uh, Miss Carlson, members of the board, Dave, and fellow cabinet members. I'm going to read the basically make the same statement for both the measure N and measure O. Um, so I probably won't get it all exactly the same for both of them. uh but to ensure the continuity and ensure we have all positions filled as outlined in the education codes code to close out all of the outstanding work we've been able to accomplish with the significant investment uh by our community with
041both both measure N and measure O bonds. Uh we would like to reappoint uh some of our past bond oversight committee members as well as appoint a few new bond oversight committee members. Uh we have just a few items left to close this out. all the expenditures have been spent. Um we have a couple of audits that we need to uh adopt uh as well as one more audit that will be adopted next year. So we're we're right at the tail end and we're excited to uh get this done and thank all of our bond oversight committee members for all of their outstanding work. Um as far as the members that we are recommending uh for the business organization representative, we're recommending Miss Ally Jeffrey for a member of the senior citizen organization, Mr. Harry
042Carlson, a member of a bonafide taxpayers organization. Miss Lacy Elliott, a member of a parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district. Patrick Bennett uh Bett and James Price Mener is who is both a parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district and an active uh in a parent teacher organization. Mr. Abraham Moselli uh and a community member at large uh Mr. Steve, Steve Soderstrom and Dave Foley. Uh Mr. Brian Trible was originally listed, but he has another commitment that's beginning on July 1st and he is elected to remove his name for consideration. So this is the same list for both measure N and measure O. So with that, we would uh like to recommend that the board adopt and appoint the list of members on our measure N
043bond over committee. Is that eight members total? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That is correct. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Are there any questions or comments on this item from the board? So, if we have eight, is there an opening then for somebody to apply for stay at eight? Uh eight fulfills all of the requirements of the education code. We're required to have uh seven with specific uh positions being filled and this will fill all of those specific requirements as well as threshold for the bond oversight committee. Then I think we opened this up to the public, right, to apply for this if they wanted to. I believe I saw it on our social media. We did.

045board. Uh, this is basically the same item for measure O with the same slate of, uh, recommended members for the bond oversight committee covering measure O. Very good. Are there any questions or comments on the appointment of the measure O bond oversight committee members from the board? Any questions or comments from the public? Seeing none, I'll accept a motion to approve this item as presented. Move to accept motion as presented. Second. Thank you. This is a roll call vote. Miss Jackson. I miss Amy. Hi. Miss Martinez. I Miss Ramirez. Hi. Mr. Shields. Hi. And I also vote I. Thank you very much to our bond oversight. Measure O. Committee members. Thank you, Mr. Gordon. Okay. Now we'll move on to the administration portion of the agenda and item 51, an action item. The board's next
046agenda item concerns renewal of the employment agreements for our existing assistant superintendent and approval of employment agreements for the recently hired assistant superintendent of human resources and assistant superintendent of educational services. The law requires the board to briefly summarize the key features of local agency executive contracts prior to open session approval of the contracts. The key terms of three assistant superintendent contracts are identical except for the term of the contracts and sal placement which are individualized. The contract for the assistant superintendent of business services is suggested as a classified management contract. Assistant superintendents are individually placed on the assistant superintendent salary schedule based upon their prior relevant job experience and they advance one step each year if they obtain a positive evaluation from the superintendent. Therefore, salary schedule placement varies dependent on upon how long
047the employee has been in the position and the experience credit granted at the time of initial placement. The term or length of the assistant superintendent contracts also vary. The district's practice has been to offer a one-year contract during an assistant superintendent's first year in the position and thereafter offer a two-year contract. The superintendent has recommended that that practice be continued. Therefore, the two current assistant superintendent will be offered two-year contracts running from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. and the recently hired assistant superintendent of human resources and assistant superintendent of educational services will be offered a one-year contract commencing July 1st. All assistant superintendents are provided the same district contribution toward health benefits that is offered to other management employees and all assistant superintendents work 222 days. All assistant superintendent contracts also contain termination
048provisions, including a termination without cause provision that provides up to 12 months of salary and benefits if the contract is terminated without cause. Thus, the assistant superintendent salary schedule is based on the 2024 2025 certificate in management and classified management salary schedules effective July 1, 2024 and provides a $12,000 annual cap for eligible employees who participate in the district's health and welfare benefit program. Copies of the draft assistant superintendent contracts are available upon request. Thank you, Miss Carlson. With that, it's recommended the board approve the contracts for the assistant superintendent of finance and accountability and business services effective July 1, 2025 through June 30th, 2027 and the assistant superintendent of human resources and educational services effective July 1, 2020 25 through June 30, 2026. Thank you very much. Are there any questions or comments on
049this item from the board or from the public? Seeing none, I'll accept a motion to approve this item as presented. I'll move to accept the item presented. Thank you very much. This is a roll call vote. Miss Jackson, I. Miss Amy, I. Miss Martinez, I. Miss Ramirez, I. Mr. Shields, I. And I also vote I. Congratulations. [Applause] Very good. Next, we have um item 52. Oh, it says Silva. That's right. But it's actually me. Okay. Uh, this is the interim superintendent compensation. So, at the regular at the May 6, 2025 regular meeting, uh, we approved a onetime off schedule compensation payment of 1.5% for certificating and classified management to be paid no earlier than May 30th without an increase in the salary schedules. In the same manner, uh I am recommending that the board of
050trustees approve the same onetime offset compensation payment of 1.5% of Dave's base salary which was approved for other management staff without a change in the base salary for the interim superintendent. Any questions or comments on this item from the board of the public? I'll entertain a motion to approve this item as presented. Thank you. This is a roll call vote. Miss Jackson, hi. Miss Amy, hi. Miss Martinez, hi. M Ramirez, hi. Mr. Shields, hi. And I also vote I congratulations. Thank you. [Applause] Next, we'll move on to board reports. I don't have a lot to say. I hope everyone's enjoying their summer break. Um, but I would like to thank our staff um for jumping on the issues we've had with ELO and trying to work through them and make it um clear to parents
051and easier um for them to be signing up and getting the children enrolled and they feel comfortable in the process. So, I know it's been a lot and I appreciate that. I also appreciate um making sure that the public knows that there is the survey that's out there and that needs to be filled out if they need um before school care. I'm sure as you explained um before Fourth of July reports do that. Thank you. Um I attended the um ribbon cutting as well with the um transportation department and that was a really I was so impressed in how they took those um portables from Osborne and then they made them into offices and it was just state-of-the-art impressive and I just really want to thank um Mrs. Wortha and her team for pulling that
052together. Good job. Same thing. Um, I attended the ribbon cutting and I was that afterwards I was able to talk to one of the bus strikers and uh with the electric vehicles and he said that everybody has 101 miles, right? Because they go by miles depending on how much you use the air conditioning and what have you, then your miles go down. So he started a 100 mile. He started with 100 miles. He traveled 20 miles. But the way he was able to maneuver with the brake, it only dropped down to like 94 miles. So, not only is it going to save money, right, but it's going to help the environment and um it's they because they I guess the batteries regenerate. So, that's kind of cool. So, good job for uh Dolores and her
053team. And um I have to do a shout out to Barney as well and Marjorie for and T and all of the um community that work together, all the partners that work together because that's a beautiful beautiful facility and we're really grateful. Any other reports? Yeah, I'd just like to finish up and I apologize for for having to kind of bring the mood to this situation, but I just want to address there is a a CFI bylaw uh that was recently brought up by the Department of Justice of the United States uh regarding our California Inter Interclassic Federation or CIF. Uh they do all of our sports. Um and that's something that we participate in by laws 300. D according to the Justice Department, this violates the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution.
054Um I I think it's a a subject matter um regarding our our sports, our female athletes and what's going on uh in the state. I think it's something that's extremely important that we discuss as a district as we move forward. Um, I did reach out to President Zilas to request a special board meeting for us to have this discussion with our community uh to invite our student athletes to invite our parents to have that discussion with us and and addressing this and uh again we they were we kind of were given a deadline of a week from a letter that was sent from the Department of Justice. Um I mean that's come and gone but what happens next we'll we'll see. Um but I think it's something that it's an important conversation that we need
055to have. Uh it's a conversation that's being had whether or not we're doing it here um with this board. Uh and so I think it's important to allow our community to come in and tell us how they feel and for us to to look at this and the situation that um there is some there are some federal funding at stake. There are some state relationships and uh state legislation that is also in play. So I think it'd be really important for us to have that conversation. Um, and again, I think it's it's something that um I hear about constantly uh when talking to parents and talking to community members. Um, and I actually, you know, I learned something new from Saw Journal that one of our athletes wasn't able to move on because of a
056situation uh created by this bylaw. So, it is already affecting our district in ways that we probably don't hear about all the time. So again, I just wanted to make sure that my my fellow board members were aware uh that I had requested that special meeting and I know President Silva wants to be a part of that meeting. So I think we're going to be scheduling that when he gets back. So I attended the a collaborative meeting between uh the city of Turlock and T and CSUS and that's and it was I haven't been to one of those meetings in about two years and I just wanted to say it was a great partnership meeting. there was a lot of really good cross-pollination and sharing of ideas and and willingness to help each other was
057just a very positive uh fruitful investment of time. And so I'm grateful for that effort to um to communicate and collaborate um with different entities within the um the city trailer. And so since we moved really fast through our meeting tonight, we already did the um resolution for naming of the baseball field, but Mr. Mr. Gordon is going to read the resolution again even though it already passed. Was he going to want you to be able to hear it when the agenda said we were going to talk about it? So, Mr. Very good. Thank you uh Miss Carlson. Uh so again, just to reread it for all those in the audience because it is a a very important uh uh thing in our community. Whereas Paul Cooper's coaching career spanned over 50 years with Turlock
058American Little League whereas Mr. the Cooper Coast regular season as well as all-stars with Turlock American Little League during that time. Whereas M. Mr. Cooper served in various positions within the Turlock American Little League organization. Whereas Mr. Cooper taught his players the game of baseball and mentored them with values that instilled honesty, ethics uh and teamwork. Whereas Mr. Cooper received the youth involvement award from the Turlock Chamber of Commerce in 2001. Whereas Mr. Cooper uh received the Santaas Society of Safer Students Athletics Award in 2003. Uh whereas a group of community members addressed the Turlock Unified School Board of Trustees on October 1st and submitted a formal requisition to rename the field uh at Julen Elementary the Paul Cooper Field on October 5th. uh whereas the board authorized administration to form a naming committee uh
059in November whereas the board approved the members of the naming committee uh in January of 2025 whereas the naming committee met on May 7th, 21st and 28th to solicit input from the community and whereas the naming committee recognizes that Mr. Cooper unfortunately passed away towards the end of the naming committee committee's work and whereas the naming committee recommended the board to rename the field the Paul Cooper field on June 3rd and the board held a public hearing where the comments were overwhelmingly in favor of the request. Now therefore, be it resolved that the board of trustees of the Turlock Unified School District proclaim that through Paul Cooper's outstanding service, success, contributions, accomplishments, and leadership to the youth in our community, it is deserving to name the baseball field at Hulen Elementary School the Paul Cooper
060Field as long as Turlock American Legal League uh is using the field. So, Thank you very much. And with that, I'll accept a motion to adjurnn. I'll move to ajourn. Second. All in favor say I. Very much everybody.
